Saturday registration resumes in May. The fee is 50 cents. When the bike is registered, it also is given a safety inspection by a police officer. He will check the brakes, tires, seat and handlebars. Moped operators must be at least 15 years of age. They must have in their possession a valid driver's license, moped operator license or driver's permit. Insurance is required. No passengers are permitted on the moped, with or without a baby seat. Bicyclists and mopedists must comply with traffic laws. They must obey signs and signals, yield to pedestrians, keep to the right except when passing parked vehicles or making left turns, and use front and rear lights at night. Moped are not permitted on sidewalks or bicycle paths in Westfield. As the result of a law which went into effect Jan. 1 of this year juveniles who are apprehended for traffic violations will be treated as adults. Their hearings will be scheduled in municipal rather than juvenile court. A bill which has been passed by the Legislature and is awaiting the Governor's signature would require that moped operators wear helmets approved by the Division of Motor Vehicles, register mopeds annually, and obtain a certificate of ownership. Motor vehicle violations would be on a point system and accrual of 12 or more points might delay the operator from obtaining his or her driver's license at age 17.

Among the highlights of the year's activities were: Overall participation in division-sponsored programs dropped 1.1% in 1982 compared to the 1981. The principal reasons for the decrease was under-utilization of Memorial Pool due to a rainy season. All other programs increased with the Sports Camp more Spring is showtime for projects made in winter's arts and crafts than doubling over 1961, and the cultural arts program increasing classes such as painting. 22.5%. The increased participation was achieved while maintain- ing expenditures about level with 1981 and about 8% below budget. The per capita tax cost was $5.07 in 1961 and reduced to $4.45 per capita in 1982 for appropriated funds. The budget tax cost for 1963 is anticipated to be reduced further to 3.7% compared to 19B2 tax appropriation as a result of significantly reduced costs for school usage adding time purchase of capital items for replacement of office equipment and park equipment, the 1983 cost per capita should be 6.5%. In December 1981, the Recreation Commission and the Westfield Board of Education entered into an agreement which provides the Commission priority for use and assignment of school buildings and grounds (second only to school, school- related -and parent-teacher functions). The agreement also establishes an equitable fee structure which will result in substantially reduced charges to the division in 1963, with no in- ...And sculpture. crease in the hourly rate to the Commission. A savings of approx- imately $4,575 was realized in 1962. During the Fall... The Commission approved preliminary plans for redevelop- ment of Mindowaskin Park for Green Acres approval. The pro- ject will be started in 1983. The Gumbert Project has essentially been completed, and the fields will be ready for use in September. State approval of Green Acres funding of Gumbert was obtained in 1981. State approval for funding of the Mindowaskin Project was approved in 1982. Because of the loss of the flag pole at Memorial Pool and the theft of landscaping equipment and ongoing vandalism at the Tamaques recreation service building, the Recreation Commis- sion has requested capital funds to install a burglary alarm systems at both sites to assist the Parks and Police Departments in the care and surveillance of recreation facilities operated by the Commission. Town Council in 1982 approved an Amendment to Chapter Two, "Administration1 * Article III, "Town Board and Commissions" by adding a new section establishing a Trust Fund concept. Ready next fall will be new basketball courts at Gumbert Field, a Green Acres project built by the Town's Public Works Depart- ment. And Pleasures Scenic Brightwood Park is a center for nature study. The passive park is part of the 211 acres dedicated to recreational use in Westfield. As full days turn colder, youngsters turn to after-school programs such as volleyball. 30 Recreation In the Summer.. Several Indoor Facilities Recreation Activities This allows for the mechanics to offer fee oriented programs for improved potential self-sufficiency in funding. Following the successful introduction in I960 of the division's ski trip program (on a break-even basis), the program has been expanded for the 1962-83 season. Summer features playgrounds In light of the successful fee-based winter program, the Com- mission instituted a Summer Sports Camp in 1961. With some changes in 1962 in age for soccer to include 8 to 18 year olds, the camps attracted a total participation of 13,885 hours, an increase of 8115 over 1961. Registration increased from 169 campers to 418 in 1982. Baseball, soccer and tennis proved to be the most popular. Basketball, wrestling and lacrosse camps were also successful. All the camps will be repeated this year with anticipated increase in lacrosse. The baseball camp will be reduced from four weeks to three, with the third week charge of $25 if registered for the first two weeks. A $5 discount for each camp for those registering on or before May 1st will be granted. The summer playground program enjoyed another successful year, with participation up to 13, 884 hours from 9,955 in 1981. The innovation in the summer program of a cooperative effort with the Westfield Neighborhood Council, the WNC's Summer Day Camp program included a number of the division's summer playground activities. Arts and crafts staff regularly visited the WNC Day Camp to work the with children in that program. ...And sports camps The Westfield Memorial Pool completed its 12th year with a successful, if rainy season, but experienced a deficit due to the loss of families and a drop in the "new family1* turnover of the past. The Recreation Commission has recommended, and Coun- cil approved, an increase in membership fees to balance the budget for 1984. The new fees are: $125 resident family; $250 non- resident family; $85 resident individual; $170 non-resident in- dividual; resident senior citizen $25; non-resident senior citizen $50.

Reviewing the accomplishments of half a century, the Westfieid Service League found that their "small good works" of charity and concern had mounted into an impressive record and won the high regard of the community. Born in the depths of the depressions in response to a plea of President Herbert Hoover for a local organization to administer relief funds, the League received a warm personal commendation from President Ronald Reagan as it celebrated at a champagne Founder's Luncheon at Echo Lake Country Club. Service League is perhaps best known in the community for its volunteer- operated consignment shops, which today contribute more than $65,000 a year to 30 local charities.

Community education was, and continues to be, a vital concern at Rahway Hospital. Upcoming programs include a high/low blood sugar screening, a diabetes series, a lecture on arthritis and other similar offerings. Early in January, 1983, a permanent, in house CT (Computeriz- ed Tomography) Scanner went on line and replaced the tem- porary scanner that had been housed in a trailer adjacent to the hospital. This new scanner, the Genera) Electric 8800, represents the latest in scanner technology and cost nearly one million dollars. Digital radiography, which combines a computer and elec- tronic camera with conventional radiographical equipment, figures prominently in the hospital's 1983 plans. A Certificate of Need has been prepared outlining plans to remodel a special pro- cedure room to accommodate this new equipment. A new telephone system, the Dimension 2000, went into opera- Architect's rendering of the new addition at Rahway Hospital (the view is from tion on Feb. 5.

Wing, a new one-story East Wing and a new boiler plant. Major renovations and departmental consolidation will also be made. The master plan for this $48 million program evolved from the work of the hospital's board of governors in concert with health care development specialists. The plan has been granted a Cer- tificate of Need by the New Jersey Department of Health. Construction on the first phase of the program is scheduled to begin in early April, 1983. The renovation will also include refurbishing of patient rooms and nursing stations, and provision of lounges for patients and nurses. Energy conservation will be an ongoing concern and the parking problem will be addressed. The total number of beds will remain at 307 which reflects the increasing emphasis on am- bulatory care. A community fund drive is currently being planned in conjunc- tion with the expansion program. The hospital family has already responded to the fund drive and the employees of the hospital have surpassed their goal by $30,000. The architect for the project ,is Maurice Finnegan of Finnegan, Lyon and Col burn of Syracuse, N.Y.

In 1982, the hospital joined with three other area hospitals to form the Alliance for Health Care, This Alliance enables the four participating hospitals to pool their resources to help reduce the cost of providing high quality services in their respective com- " munities.

Held equally in high esteem are many of the institutions within the greater Westfield community, among them Children's Specialized Hospital. Found- ed in 1891 as the Children's Country Home, this internationally-reknowned pediatric rehabilitation hospital provides expert professional care for physically disabled children and adolescents. Located in a tree-shaded suburban setting in Mountainside, Children s Specialized Hospital offers a comprehensive program of inpatient and outpa- tient care. As Children's Country Home, the in- stitution admitted its first sick child in 1895 and for many years treated children stricken with influenza and pneumonia. By 1945, its admissions were restricted exclusively to young polio patients. With the advent of polio cures, the hospital adopted a mission of broader scope and in 1962 the name changed to Children's Specializ- ed. The medical staff of Children's Specialized is today considered to be among the finest. The staff's work with young patients in coma as a result of automobile accidents and other traumatic causes has brought the hospital international recognition. Therapeutic services are innovative and the nursing care is unique. One factor, however, has not altered through the yearsdespite medical ad- vances and mission alterations and that is the special bind which ties the hospital to the community. Westfield- Mountainside residents maintain a special place for Children's Specializ- ed. It shows in the overflowing sup- port of the community in auxiliary and volunteer organizations and in the willingness of busy community • ••' • \ V. leaders to serve on its board of trustees. Westfield is indeed a special com- munity and its support of Children's Specialized Hospital may be the most special aspect of its being. Pictured are various support groups which donate time, money and ser- vices to the hospital.

Combined community and individual efforts have made this local landmark a successful "living" museum. In the past ten years, the Miller-Cory House has become nationally known and is certified on both the State and National Registers of Historic Sites. The 1740 farmhouse is visited by people from all over the area and has been featured in national magazines (Colonial Homes, Americana, Early American Life, and Great Recipes of the World) and syndicated newspaper columns. Televi- sion channels 13 and 5 have featured Miller-Cory on spot announcements and The Big Apple Minute. The Museum includes the farmhouse, the Frazee Building, which was moved from another loca- tion to its present site on the museum grounds, and a corn crib. A part of the grounds is an herb garden and there is a vegetable garden. The produce from the gardens is used in cooking and other crafts. With a program of seasonal crafts demonstrated from September to June, the Miller-Cory Volunteers recreate the lifestyle of a typical farm family of the 18th and early 19th centuries. In addition to tours of the Museum conducted by costumed docents, the volunteers offer a showcase for educational institutions which provides demonstrations and instruction in colonial crafts, and a study guide which may be purchased in the shop. An audio-visual center in the Museum is the scene of workshops, demonstrations and slide presentations. Jean Davidson exhibits "Study Guide to the Miller-Cory House Museum" while she awaits school tour group which has used book as basis for study of colonial life. A junior docent program has been established enabling young people to participate in the activities of the Museum. An active segment of the Miller-Cory Volunteers is the cooking committee, which demonstrates open hearth cooking and baking in the beehive oven in the Frazee Building. In association with the New Jersey Historical Society, the Miller-Cory Cooks have recently published a cookbook, The Pleasures of Colonial Cooking. The operation of the Museum covers many skills and occupations, as well as a wide range of interests as evidenced by the many crafts involved, from needlework, basketry, weaving, tinsmithing to leather crafts, corn crafts and broom making.

The league's objectives are to teach Westfield youngsters the sport of wrestling through a basic program of instruction and competi- tion. The program also serves as a vehicle for improving physical fitness and building confidence and self-reliance. More than 150 boys participate in two divisions. The Junior Division includes boys in grades two through six who are assigned to one of four teams based on weight and age coefficient. After a period of instruction, weekly competitive intra-town matches are scheduled. At an end-of-season tournament, trophies are awarded to wrestlers who finish in the top four places in each weight class. The more experienced Junior Division boys are selected for two All-Star teams and compete against Union County and Central Jersey teams in the same age group. The Senior Division, for seventh and eighth grade boys, is a more intensive and advanced program, building on the skills learned in the Junior Division. Previous experience, however, is not a prerequisite. Senior Division teams compete against teams from other towns in the Union County League and at an end-of- season tournament medals are awarded to the top three winners in each weight class. All boys are eligible to compete for honors in several local, regional and state tournaments held throughout the year. Officers for 1982-83 include: President, Bill Jordan, 232-6463; vice-president, Senior Division, Ralph Miller; vice-president, Junior Division, Donald Walsh; treasurer, Richard Gottlick.

The Westfield Board of Realtors inaugurated a multiple listing service in 1949 and enjoys a high ratio of sales to listings based on state and national averages. It is, possibly, among the highest in the country due to its efficient opera- tion and the high degree of co-operation among its member firms. The members of the Westfield Board of Realtors have brought board and individual honors to Westfield, through the Make America Better Program sponsored by the Na- tional Association of Realtors, Realtor-Associate Million Dollar Club memberships, awards in the New York Times classified ad writing contest and many winners in the an- nual Community Service Award competition sponsored by the New Jersey Association of Realtors.

The Chamber works closely with town govern- ment to maintain the strength and vitality of Westfield's business community. During the last year that alliance was successful in preventing the construction of a large shopping mall on Westfield's border. Westfield residents joined the Chamber volunteers in this effort since the proposed mall threatened the safety and quality of life of area residents as well as threatening the economic health of the community. This year Chamber and elected town officials have begun to work on a study of the traffic and parking needs of the central business district. The Chamber office is open five days a week and it serves as an information center for new residents and for businesses. The executive director, Susan Jar- dine, manages the office and handles the business needs of the organization. Westfield retailers are members of the Chamber's WAM/Retail group which promotes the community and the local retail district by a series of promotional events and mailings. At Christmas, Chamber and Westfield officials joined in the The Chamber of Commerce sponsors the yearly Christmas celebrations in tree-fighting celebration with a welcome "guest," Westfield Westfield, bringing Santa to town, lighting the townwide decorations and hosting families came to sing carols and talk to Santa. the Westfield tree-lighting ceremonies.
